Today’s Bible Reading:
Isaiah 63-64; Psalm 107; John 2
Journal Entry on a passage from today’s reading:
Topic: Trust in the
Lord
SCRIPTURE: John 2:9-10
9…the master
of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not
realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water
knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10
and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper
wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best
till now." (John 2:9-10 NIV)
OBSERVATION:
This is from the story of the first of Jesus’ miraculous
signs performed while attending a wedding in Cana .
When the supply of wine ran out at the wedding banquet, at the behest of his
mother, Jesus instructed servants to fill six 20 to 30 gallon stone water jars
with water. When the water was drawn out and served, it had miraculously been
changed into the best quality of wine. One observation from this incident is to
note that the best quality of wine men can produce falls short of the quality the
Lord produces.
APPLICATION:
What have I filled the vessel of my life with? At the
pinnacle of my abilities and good intentions, what I fill my life with will
pale in comparison to what the Lord can fill me with.
PRAYER:
Lord, may I ever be filled with your best. Through Christ. Amen. -AP
